The US Open 2023 is a reminder that Keys can win if she gets past those demons.
Crazy 1.27 Saba SP busted.
What a deserved slam winner and what a run to get to it too, couldn't have been more brutal a run !

Aoi Ito is already tumbling all over the court again. She needs to stop being so damn clumsy. Late last year she hit her head on the court after a tumble and had to retire.
Never give up!

So happy for her. She's deserved this so much ! Always a reminder of Sloane too, who was the one who stopped her all those years ago in US.
And what a way to do it!

Was it 49th? Eurosport Germany just showed a ranking of needed slam participations and it said 46.

I counted qualies.

Pennetta led that ranking with 49.
and Madison didn't announce her retirement in her victory speech!
so nice of Donna Vekic to let Eva Lys play the Aussie Open and get a big pay check.

random fun fact
Fratangelo was playing qualies at the AO years ago
his match was suspended due to rain
at the resumption, Keys arrived and he closed it in few minutes
Madison then left laughing with the team: "My power! he needed me!"
now she got that Slam with him on her side

- Spoiler: Show
- Madison Keys wins her first Grand Slam
Destiny unlocked
no cheap slam here.
Either Zverev will be the first male German to win a Slam since Boris Becker.
Or Sinner will be the first male German to win two Slams in a row since Boris Becker.

Since when is Sinner German, apart from his mother tongue, he is Italian representing Italy

I got some of the 1.14 but could have been so much better had I not been so slow.I think 1.35 is a fair price. Sinner is on another level at the moment
Just a different level
3-0 Sinner
Defence on another level and so consistent. Be interesting to see how many hard court slams he wins
Zverev with some very strong words.
"Jannik, you are the best player in the world by far. I wanted to be more competitive but you are just too good (...) I'm just not good enough".

It’s Australia today and she was going off about how it was the day the aboriginals were ‘invaded’
best guess so far.

I thought this was perfectly put

Will Zverev get this slam if WADA decides in April that Sinner should not have been allowed to compete?
pretty sure, or that's also Sinner's USO in danger.
